Quotes from our contributing authors

"Once the rain stopped, the tents were efficiently assembled by Sherpas. Mount Kailash glimmered in the twilight sky. The snow-capped peak turned orange and then golden. As the moon rose, its radiance engulfed the dark night with its magical blaze. I was in heaven. There was nothing that could ever match this feeling."

- Nayna Chakrabarty

"Crossing from Laos to Vietnam we may as well have changed continents. The pace notched up along with the infrastructure and suddenly our relaxed senses were snapped awake. When the bus we were on pulled over in a rice paddy between towns, 30 km from Vinh, I was instantly aware of the struggle we were in for."

- Mary Slaughter

"South Korea felt like a whole new world, very different from the serene and orderly Japan we'd just left behind. Much as we'd liked Japan, Pusan did seem more alive somehow, more humane and not as rigid and secretive."

- Anna Maria Espsäter
